This man had a nice, quiet, intelligent childhood and his hobbies included music, science and torturing small animals. He had a strange personality which appeared normal at first but soon people would find him struggling to control his outbursts of rage. He lost his parents at an early age and blamed nobles known as Boyars for it. He became the leader at the age of 16 and soon embarked upon destroying his enemies: Tartar khanates of Kazan and the nobles. He went on to do terrible things such as murdering his own son and daughter-in-law in a fit of rage. He gauged the eyes of the architect who helped build St. Basil's Cathedral so that it could not be replicated.

Do you know that this man was the inspiration for the fictional vampire Count Dracula? Why? Because of his love for violence and blood. Vlad was cruel and straight-up evil. He killed looted, burned, terrorized his enemies. His activities earned him nicknames like Impaler, terrorist, vampire etc. Vlad never held prisoners. Those who got caught, usually ended up dying in a very painful manner.

Attila the Hun (Scourge of God) murdered his own brother so that he could rise as the singular ruler of the Hunnic tribe. He was a savage barbaric ruler who did not believe in taking prisoners- it is widely speculated that he used to eat them. The Huns didn’t really believe in technology, they would fight , plunder and ravage cities instead of growing their own food. Atilla once attacked the city of Aquileia. He burned, hacked and destroyed the city in such a manner that nothing could ever grow back from its ruins.

Caligula emerges as the clear winner in our list. He was the 3rd Roman Emperor and the biggest pervert ever. He would hack, slash, impale, feed prisoners to lions or even torture his own people for no apparent reason. He enjoyed sex and would often get involved in such activity with multiple women- he even made his men give up their wives, and didn’t even spare his sisters. sawing people in half and then feasting on their testicles was one of the bloodthirsty pastimes this man enjoyed.
